Brigantes

The Brigantes were Iron Age Britons who settled their capital at Eburakon (York) in northern England. The Kingdom of Brigantia flourished in The Midlands as well as Hibernia (Ireland), where another branch of the Brigantii lived. The Briton Brigantes were conquered by the Iceni after a bloody war in 259 BC, and they were forced northwards by the invasion of the Roman Empire.

History
The Brigantes colonized the settlement of Eburakon (York) in The Midlands around 430 BC, spreading out from Northern England to Hibernia (Ireland) on the eastern shore. The Brigante tribe were of the same blood as the Caledonians, Iceni, Dumnoni, Demetae, and Ebdani, and the tribes were closely associated.

In 272 BC, the Iceni began their rise to power. By conquering the Demetae, they had started their expansion in hopes of forming a confederation of tribes, and the Brigantes mustered large forces for their defense. King Dunaios' forces were large and strong, and they defeated an Iceni invasion in 265 BC. However, King Adiatorix invaded with 21,000 troops in 259 BC and conquered the Brigantes once and for all.
